(AU) "You abandoned me when I was a baby." What if Hades hadn't abandoned Mal when he left Maleficent? What if he had chose her? How different would Mal's life had been, even as she remained trapped within the confines of the Isle?

(Sequel to Choosing Family) After the events of Ben's coronation, Mal finds herself adjusting to life in Auradon with her cousin, brother and best friend by her side once more. However, can she truly be herself in a land that seems to celebrate conformity?

Auradon was at peace. Their King was engaged, and relations between the mainland and the Isle were being rebuilt in a way no one could have seen. There was only one thing standing in the way of pure bliss...or two things one would say. And they had their sights set on the teenaged King and his fiancée.

(Sequel to Choosing Home) With the threats to them and the kingdom finally dealt with, Mal and Ben are free to simply live their lives. But they find themselves facing the simplest but most challenging thing of all...life itself.
